Ernst Leitz was hired as an engineer in 1865 and was running the company by 1869 when he reorganized it as the Optical Institute of Ernst Leitz. In the first 20 years the company produced 15,000 microscopes. The company was at the forefront of polarized light microscopy with one of its engineers, Dr. Max Berek, discovering how to mathematically compute the depth of field in microscope imagery. Through the years, Leitz microscopes have continued to evolve as cameras and other products have assumed greater prominence in its product mix.
